AI Summary
This bill, effective July 1, 2026, amends existing law to clarify that technology center school districts, which provide vocational and technical education, will be governed by the State Board of Career and Technology Education rather than the State Board of Education. This change ensures that the State Board of Career and Technology Education, which is responsible for setting standards and overseeing career and technology education, will have direct authority over these specialized school districts, including their classification, inspection, and accreditation. The bill also makes minor adjustments to language regarding the election of board members and the powers and duties of the technology center school district boards of education.
